Abstract: Summary We present and analyze a cellular automaton model for granular surface flow along piles and inclines. It is based on the intuitive idea that granular surface flow happens via successive excitation of small-scale avalanches. We show that this model reproduces several essential experimental results for granular surface flow and give a continuum approximation of its spatio-temporal evolution.
